Hongkong Post to issue "Road Safety" special stamps (with photos)
***************************************************************************
With the vision of "Zero Accidents on the Road, Hong Kong's Goal", it is the responsibility of each and every citizen to maintain road safety. All road users, be they pedestrians, drivers, passengers or cyclists, must strictly observe traffic laws and regulations.
To further raise public awareness of road safety, Hongkong Post will issue a set of four stamps, a stamp sheetlet and associated philatelic products on the theme of "Road Safety", demonstrating the correct behaviours and proper attitudes of road users, with a view to improving road safety in Hong Kong through concerted efforts. For example, pedestrians must follow traffic signals when crossing roads; drivers should stay focused and must not drink and drive; passengers should wear seat belts, while children in private cars are required to use appropriate child restraining devices for safety; and cyclists should wear personal protective equipment, obey traffic rules and refrain from riding on pavements.
Official first day covers for "Road Safety" will be on sale at all post offices and on Hongkong Post's online shopping platform ShopThruPost (shopthrupost.hongkongpost.hk) from tomorrow (May 13). This set of special stamps and associated philatelic products will be on sale at all post offices and on ShopThruPost from May 28, while serviced first day covers affixed with the special stamps will be available at philatelic offices only.
A hand-back date-stamping service will be provided on May 28 at all post offices for official first day covers/souvenir covers/privately made covers bearing the first day of issue indication and a local address.
Information about this set of special stamps and associated philatelic products is available on the Hongkong Post Stamps website (stamps.hongkongpost.hk).
